Through it all God’s Grace rewarded him with the love of his life, Blanca. One of Tito's Favorite Bible verses was Psalm 100. “Shout for joy to the Lord, everyone on earth. Worship the Lord with gladness. Come to him with songs of joy. Know that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him. We are his people. We are the sheep belonging to his flock. Give thanks as you enter the gates of his temple. Give praise as you enter its courtyards. Give thanks to him and praise his name. The Lord is good. His faithful love continues forever. It will last for all time to come.” Francisco “Tito” Cruz was a Soldier, a Soldier of God spreading his word and message.
